As an experienced cyclist, you know you’re not going to wear fall’s trendy wide leg jeans while you pedal your way through town, now, were you? Unless you want to snag and rip your jeans—and if you do, there’s always Denim Therapy—you might want to try some more practical, yet chic stretch denim jeans that will embrace (not strangle) and stretch where needed, as you breeze past some other dangerous curves. Which is why we rounded up five pairs of jeans for women who want to look cycle chic and unencumbered when it’s time to snap ahead of Sunday drivers on a weekday rush hour.

Whether you’re on manual power or going moto, we think these jeans can suit any mood and add spice to your weekday commute.
